GIFSEP, ESLF SHARE FREE SOLAR LAMPS TO FLOOD VICTIMS IN MAKURDI.

50 households in Iniongun-Makurdi, the Benue State capital who had suffered severe flooding last year have been given reasons to smile as the Global Initiative for Food Security and Ecosystem Preservation (GIFSEP) in collaboration with Eunice Spring of Life Foundation (ESLF) today distributed free solar lamps, solar panels and inverters to them to light up their homes at night and charge their handsets to help them keep in touch with loved ones and run their various businesses.

Addressing beneficiaries, Programme Manager of ESLF, Tine Agernor explained that the Foundation, through its Founder and First Lady of Benue State, Dr. Eunice Ortom, has made several interventions in health, education, governance and economic empowerment and maintained that ESLF’s intervention in environment formed the foundation for the partnership with GIFSEP that offered the chance for them to enjoy the benefits of solar energy.

Stressing the need to cater for the environment, Executive Director of GIFSEP, Mr. David Michael Terungwa who attributed the awful flood menace the people suffered to climate change, advised them to adopt better ways of disposing waste. Terungwa who reminded them of the predictions of heavy rains this year which may cause more flooding, urged people to use this election time to vote for candidates who would support climate change initiatives.

On her part, the Executive Director of Gender and Environmental Risk Reduction Initiative (GERI), Mrs. Elizabeth Jeiyol, encouraged all to adopt healthy environmental lifestyles to protect families from suffering the backlash of carelessness in handling environmental matters.

Beneficiaries including Agnes Ayaku, Janet Onoja and Tyoakaa Passa Kwaghbee expressed delight at the chance to enjoy solar-generated power to light up their homes and charge their handsets to stay connected to their loved ones.
